"The market for open-source database software will explode this year."

In Investor's Business Daily Ken Spencer Brown quotes Forrester Research analyst Noel Yuhanna saying "The market for open-source database software will explode this year." He sees annual sales rising to $1 billion by 2008, from $120 million now. "Most will come in support and service contracts." That's good, because you have to give away a fearsome number of free copies to create a billion dollar market.
